Zone 57 refers to the Industrial Area in Doha Municipality. It is one of the largest work zones in Qatar, with factories, workshops, labour accommodation, transport yards, and a continuous flow of goods moving in and out.

This part of Doha is known for its wide roads, block-based grid layout, and heavy transport activity. Many companies set up workshops or storage units here due to the availability of purpose-built industrial plots.
